Could we perhaps work together with Google by organizing joint mapping parties
where the resulting data is added to both maps?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and as with other pseudo-free map
projects like People's Map, we should take this as a vindication of the OSM
approach.  I can appreciate that it really sucks when they copy ideas and claim
the credit for them.
